Free Elder Scrolls Online Trial Returns This Weekend


Posted on April 28, 2018 by Rae Michelle Richards

Players in the online iteration of Tamriel have been able to enjoy free access to all of the bonuses of the usually subscription only Elder Scrolls Online plus service. For existing subscribers this means free “Crown Crates” which provide an RNG chance at highly sought after loot box only mounts. We’ve written in the past how paid for RNG chests can be addicting and recently were ruled analogous to gambling in the European Union.

Benefits of the ESO+ trial that runs from now until Monday the 30th of April includes:

  • 10% increase to all experience earned.
  • An unlimited storage crafting bag.
  • Double the placement space for furnishings and collectibles in housing / private rooms.
  • Doubling of your character’s personal inventory and bank space.

ESO plus also includes access to the following DLC packs while a subscription is active:

  • Imperial City
  • Orsinium
  • Thieves Guild
  • Dark Brotherhood
  • Shadow of the Hist
  • Horns of the Reach
  • Clockwork City
  • Dragon Bones

To activate the ESO+ trial simply head on over to the in-game crown store once logged in and claim the ESO+ trial item to begin.

I personally always look forward to these free trial periods as I let my subscription lapse around November of last year and have found little reason to re-up. Whenever the trial comes around I’ll run as many dungeons and Cyrodil Alliance Wars as I can over the weekend to stuff as many resources into the crafting bag as I can. For someone who plays a merchant ad likes to collect gold to buy new housing items – the ESO+ trial is a good time sink.

ESO Plus Free For All This Weekend, Extra Bonuses For Subscribers


Posted on January 11, 2018 by Rae Michelle Richards

Zenimax Online’s subscription service ESO Plus for The Elder Scrolls Online is free until next Monday for everyone. Non-subscribed players can once again enjoy access to all of the existing DLC (minus Morrowind but it does include the recently released Clockwork City) for free for the next 72+ hours. As well as double the bank space and a global 10% experience bonus for all characters. 

Existing subscribers get a bonus goodies during the events – one free Flame Atronach Crown Crate for each day that they login from the 9th until the event ends on the 15th. Each individual “day” resets at 9:59AM each morning and players have to log-out completely – all the way to the main menu, not just to the character select screen – to qualify for the free crates. 

Here’s a breakdown of all of the benefits of the ESO Plus trial weekend: 

  • Access to Clockwork City DLC 
  • Access to Dark Brotherhood DLC 
  • Access to Imperial City DLC 
  • Access to Thieves Guild DLC 
  • Unlimited “crafting bag” storage that persists after the trial ends (just new items can’t be deposited into it) 
  • Double personal inventory space 
  • Double bank space 
  • Access to dye stations 
  • 10% global EXP bonus 

Personally, I use these ESO+ free weekends to load up as many crafting items as I can to sell in my Trade Guilds. I used to subscribe to ESO+ until I had enough Crowns to buy all of the existing DLC (BTW Clockwork is excellent). Last time a free trial weekend rolled around I had enough crafting items stored to fuel my sales for almost an entire month!
